About this audio guide
This guide to the Khao Phra Tamnak Viewpoint follows Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, a son of King Chulalongkorn known as the father of the Royal Thai Navy, and the odd modern obstacle now standing between his bronze statue and the sea he was placed here to watch. You'll hear about his years pulled from naval duty, the folk medicine he practiced among sailors and fishing crews who called him Sadej Tia, and how he came to be remembered as something closer to a folk deity. Stand at the shrine and look past the stalled tower toward Bali Hai pier and the curve of the bay.
